Does Quantum Entanglement Define Our Existence?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion centers on the relationship between quantum entanglement and human existence, sparked by the PBS Space-Time series episode titled "How Do Quantum States Manifest in the Classical World?" Participants express varying opinions, with one user asserting that quantum mechanics (QM) provides a foundational understanding of reality, while acknowledging its limitations in explaining human behavior. The conversation concludes with a reminder of forum rules and the closure of the thread due to its speculative nature.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of quantum mechanics principles
  • Familiarity with quantum entanglement concepts
  • Knowledge of classical physics and its relationship with quantum states
  • Awareness of psychological and socio-political theories
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of quantum entanglement in modern physics
  • Explore the PBS Space-Time series for deeper insights into quantum mechanics
  • Study the intersection of quantum mechanics and consciousness theories
  • Investigate the limitations of quantum mechanics in explaining human behavior
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for physicists, philosophers, and anyone interested in the implications of quantum mechanics on existence and consciousness.

hello: I don’t know where to post this and I think this is as good a place as any here.
question: does quantum entanglement explain how we are?

I am having trouble Even trying to express the question above. But, I just viewed PBS space-time series 6 episode eight: “how do quantum states manifest in the classical world?”

Having viewed that, and not having any advanced physics background at all, I’m inclined to answer my own above question as: “yes.”

what do you think? Thank you.

Ultimately, QM explains everything (except Garvity, of course!). But, it doesn't explain human behaviour directly. You need many layers of scientific, psychological and socio-political theories for that.
